Not having to much knowledge on video games, I feel that they are not a waste. Their educational video games out there for young kids to play and be educated at the sametime. However, I notice that some video games are reported to be negative games but those games all have to do with violent actions. I feel that video games is a literacy because is known as having the ability to read and write but having a visual aid is good as well because someone could learn from seeing as well. I know that Dora the Explorer has been a good aspect to younger kids learning because she helps them with reading and speaking another language. Im not really certain but she may have a video game that helps kids with the samething but the only thing that would be different is instead of them reading from a book or watching television, they could combine the two and also earn the skill of using their hands because of the controllers.
Yes, I know there has been news reports on many young people trying out the actions they learn from a video game and in up hurting themselves or others but I still fill that’s just certain cases. Even with that being siad, young people are still learning from the negative video games because if they were not learning then how would they pick up on what moves to use when they play around when they try the stunts with their friends. I mean I feel they learn right from wrong when they play the negative video games. For example, if a kid is playing a video game that the action figure their portraying to be is killing everyone, I dont think that all kids will gomout and start a killing festival. So video games has meaning and kids learn from what they see, read, and write.
Also there maybe young students who want to become graph designers and video games ahve plenty of it so they may love to play video games because they can learn about their future lifestyles. I feel video games can be looked at from many views and different shades but in reality video games should be looked at as a literacy. One video game I do know about is Mario and I use to play the game on my game boy as a young girl. On the game there were parts where Mario was completed tasks and then there would be a stage where he has to like fight a monster. I never looked at Mario as something bad when I had the fight the monster. To me it was teacher me that Mario was a hero or a leader and I knew that I would want to accomplish tasks and lead. That was my perception!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So video games have a great meaning and kids know whats right and wrong, what they can learn, what they can do and say when they play video games
